"When I took my 30 visit to the Ravens I had a really good feeling," Faalele said moments after being drafted.
"Coach 'D' (Joe D'Alessandris) is an awesome coach. We had a great meeting. He talked about how he's coached Orlando Brown Jr and stuff before.
"He just gave me that confidence. I know I'm in good hands. I had a good feeling there that we would be a good fit, and I'm just happy that everything worked out."
Faalele said his best attributes are his athleticism for his size and "just how strong I am. Being a bigger body, I have longer arms. So, just using those intangibles to my advantage."
"The biggest challenge is always pad level. I can always get lower.
"The main thing they were talking about is pad level, and just taking better angles to the second level," he said.

"I feel like the sky's the limit for me," Faalele suggested. "I just need more coaching and I feel like going to the next level I'm excited to see how far I can go."
